Winter in South America

I have started more fires in the past 3 weeks than I have my entire life previously!

I am pretty certain that I did not get my Boy Scout merit badge for Fire Starting or whatever it was called. By the looks of things if I did in fact get one I somehow cheated on the fire starting test.

In the last 2 houses we owned I was very good at starting fires!  I just walked over to the wall and flipped a switch..and presto a beautiful fire in seconds flat.

…the funny thing is I never remember being really cold when I started those fires!

I have a basic grasp of geography.  I know that south of Argentina is a giant iceberg, and I know southern Argentina gets very, very cold.  But who knew that northern Argentina could get so cold?

The days are beautiful…but the last couple of nights have gotten down to freezing.  I think that is like - 0 (negative zero) degrees celcius, but I am still trying to figure out the whole conversion thing.

Why is the U.S. on a different system for EVERYTHING?

So, we are sitting by the fire trying to stay warm waiting for the sun to come up.  With 2.5 acres, 5 cabins, 3 dogs, and a cat to watch after our days are busy.  It has been a while since we’ve been so domestic and it is kinda fun…for at least the next couple of weeks - if I can keep the fires lit.

It is winter in South America…
